Since everyone is going back and forth on her character, here is my feedback.
- She looks like the lovechild of Candy Cane and Serah Farron.
- I agree with
@Tyaren that her model is exactly identical... and a friend and I discussed, who said he was planning to mod DOA5LR, and he stated the same thing.
- Magical Powers?
I'm not calling her Honoka. I'm calling her Mary Sue and Hookah (because Honoka really fast sounds like Hookah).
Aesthetic-wise, I am not happy with her at all. As
@EMPEROR_COW stated on Facebook, for a company who boasts of their aesthetic achievements to each character, to use the same face model is very unoriginal and lazy. It does not live up to their qualities.
Now that I recall, her uniform also looks like it was ripped off of Kokoro. Though the scan is too pixelated so I can't see for sure.
The bang mesh is also just a swap from Marie.
I think her appearance should be changed. I think she would be cute with a long bang, that calls like this.
Her half-updo is fine.
The schoolgirl persona is fine... just not the magical powers.
I think if her face was slightly thinner, and she had hooded eyes, a wider nose, and fuller lips, that she would fit right in.
Right now, she just looks like a rip-off.
